I am investigating replaceing my outdated Marconi ADSL modem router with this item http://trendnet.com/langen/products/proddetail.asp?prod=170_TEW-435BRM&cat=3 from Trendnet. The website indicates that this unit is Windows, MAC and UNIX compatible but not specifically Linux ciompatible. I have checked the HCL at opensuse and have not found the unit. Trendnet seem to be very pro Linux as further digging on their site under support brought up an OS compatibility list where Linux and not UNIX was listed.
My question is:
Can a person seeking hardware that will work on Linux make the partial or complete assumption based on the operating systems the unit does support that the specified unit will or will not work on Linux.
You are not going to change the operating system of the router. This is an outside machine to your computer, so it doesn't matter what it runs. The compatibility issue with routers is whether they also need a configuration program that runs in your computer, like mine; but what it really needs is a web browser, and firefox works fine. I never used the install disk. And if they say "compatible with unix" then you are fine. Usual disclaimers apply, etc, etc. :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
